Spring wedding
season is beginning in Georgia. I just
attended the wedding of one of my best friends in Charleston SC.It was a lovely wedding with all the
trimmings…beautiful wedding dress, fabulous tabletop décor, and a stunning
location overlooking the beach and Atlantic Ocean.

During her
father’s toast to the happy couple, he mentioned that he had asked Brenda to
take her time and wait for the “right one”.Dad also mentioned that he never imagined that would mean walking his 55
year old daughter down the aisle when he was 82 years old…

Brenda did wait for the “right one”; she did not settled for less than
the absolute best match. Single
friends may be wondering, “Will it ever be my turn?” “Will I ever meet the
One?”I’ve been in your shoes and I
can say without a doubt, yes you will!

“When you stop chasing the
wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you.” ~ Lolly Daskal

It may feel like torture to
attend one more wedding, buy one more bridesmaid dress, or spend one more year
alone–but your time will come. Until then? Meet as many new people as you can.
Make that your goal this spring. Try out a new meetup group–give online dating
a try–attend more parties–whatever ways you can find to meet more people. Most
couples I know met their “right one” through a mutual friend (don’t be opposed
to blind dates); or they met through a website like Christian Singles or
Match.com.

“Only
I can change my life. No one else can do it for me.” - Carol Burnett

Being single can
feel never-ending, but it doesn’t have to last forever. Use this time to examine
areas of your life that need a change, get out of your comfort zone; start now
preparing yourself for marriage. If you want to make a change in your
life, you have to be the one that provides the energy, takes the steps, and draws
a line in the sand that says you’re not going back to your old comfort zone
again.

“My advice for girls who are waiting for their Prince Charming is to be
open for anything. Be open to new experiences, be open to the idea that it may
take longer than you planned, but if you're open to
meeting new people and new adventures, then the right love will come
along.” - Lily Collins
